It is news to me that I am an administrator of some instances. I don't know what to do about this, sorry.

I think these are safe to get rid of. @Volker_E should we just delete them?

@Volker_E, could you confirm that the above VMs are safe to delete. I don't think we need them any more.

I've got no idea what's on those three instances currently and the last time I knowingly directly connected to one was living-style-guide.design.eqiad.wmflabs about 3 years ago?

Another ping. Deadline is approaching (2018-12-18).

@aborrero As I've stated in my comment, I'd either need guidance on connecting to these instances or to get a file backup bundle to make an informed decision.

They should be accessible via ssh to any member of the project. I took a quick look to see if their function was obvious:

• design-lsg3.design.eqiad.wmflabs
  • Originally created by @Spage which may be a sign that it is old and unused.
  • Has role::labs::mediawiki_vagrant applied
  • /srv/mediawiki-vagrant clone that is 3 years out of date and no roles enabled
• living-style-guide.design.eqiad.wmflabs
  • Originally created by @werdna
  • Has role::deprecated::labsvagrant applied
  • Vagrant roles livingstyleguide, simple_performant, and visualeditor enabled
• lsg-01.design.eqiad.wmflabs
  • Originally created by @yuvipanda
  • Has role::labs::mediawiki_vagrant applied
  • Vagrant roles livingstyleguide and simple_performant enabled
  • /srv/mediawiki-vagrant clone that is 2 years out of date
  • https://lsg.wmflabs.org/ points at this instance

Ping. Today is Friday and the deadline is Tuesday.

Nothing has changed since my last comment, even with @bd808's hints. I have good feelings about what's in there, but really relieving would be to either connect to them and have a look (which I had several issues with already in the past and the credentials are probably vanished) or to get file/db backups.
If those instances just disappear on Tuesday, World will not be on fire though.

@Volker_E it is not clear to me what guidance you need to use your ssh credentials to access these instances. We have general documentation on using ssh to access instances on wikitech. Your VolkerE/volker-e developer account has two ssh public keys attached to it. You can see the key details and add a new key if needed at https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-openstack when logged in. You can also join the #wikimedia-cloud irc channel and ask for interactive debugging help getting your ssh sessions working.

@Volker_E: Today is the deadline.

Hi! Since the deadline already passed, we agreed on shutting down remaining Trusty instances on 2019-01-18. More info at https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/News/Trusty_deprecation#Cloud_VPS_projects

design-lsg3, living-style-guide, and lsg-01 should be shut down today

Mentioned in SAL (#wikimedia-cloud) [2019-01-21T16:36:44Z] <gtirloni> T204502 shutdown ubuntu VMs: design-lsg3, living-style-guide, lsg-01

Mentioned in SAL (#wikimedia-cloud) [2019-03-01T10:43:22Z] <arturo> T204502 shutdown lsg-01 instance (was active by mistake due to workload reallocation) Will be deleted soon anyway
